    Great Vintage With Incredible Retro-Style!…read more SITREP We were looking for pizza and instead initially wandered into this store only to find some awesome retro-dresses! THE SETUP My galpal Jenner & I were on the way back to Central Washington (after she picked me up at SEATAC), and on our way through Olympia, we got struck with massive hunger cravings for Pizza. As we headed to La Gitana, HOT TODDY crossed out path (or rather, we crossed IT'S path) and we had to wander inside of it once we were *blinded by the light* of all it's colors inside! STYLES & DESIGNS! We were inside a virtual smorgasbord of crazy fabrics & designs! I played guard to the dressing room while Jenner tried on some awesome dresses. I also foraged around for some smaller, more palatable items for a guy to wear and found some pretty cool jackets and socks. THE LOWDOWN After grabbing a couple of dresses, we were ready to go and find our pizza stop (which we did since it was almost next door). Missions Accomplished!

    Used to love this place, but just got treated really oddly by the person working the cashier. I…read morealways visit when I'm in town from Los Angeles because I love the cute, quirky vibes. Today I walked in, a white Oly couple a few steps ahead of me. The clerk completely ignored them, but as soon as she saw me she RUSHED out from behind the counter in a panic as if to block my entry, saying "CAN I HELP YOU" in a stressed tone. She only relaxed when she saw my shopping bag from Radiance. I can't think of what would cause such a reaction, except that I am visibly brown. I'd hate to think that someone at such a sweet staple of downtown was racially profiling me. All in all it left a sour taste in my mouth. In over 10 years, I've never been treated this way here.

    I like this chain and came in looking for capri pants. They had none. Surprised as it was just…read morebefore summer. On the smaller size for a Torrid. Very nice staff member looked through items on sale with me trying to find capris.

    I continue to love Torrid for the most part, but there are a few things I am not fond of. First the…read morepros: They have a variety of cuts for a variety of body shapes (as opposed to merely sizing up and down the same basic shape). They have GREAT sales and if you shop smart you can save a lot of money. Their clearance racks are fantastic. You can also sometimes find the clearance stuff online, and save even MORE money than in the store. A wide variety of styles for a wide variety of tastes. The ladies that work there are FUN and sassy and generally make being there a pleasure. The cons: Full price is PRICEY! If you like something you better buy it while it is still there, since their inventory turns over quickly. Many of their items are made from inferior materials and fall apart quickly, or pill up so that they look bad. Some of their jeans are durable, and some have holes within six months and it can be hard to tell which are which. My previous review: I wasn't sure about going to Torrid, especially as I thought they were too "fad" oriented for me (I like a more classic look) and since department stores do carry my size (16-18). However, after going to many department stores and trying on a million clothes and being SO frustrated at nothing looking good, I decided to give Torrid a try. What I first noticed as I browsed the store is that they have a LOT of different looks, from trendy chic to classic elegent to casual. The prices of the newest items does tend to be steep, but their clearance racks are GREAT and they often have some BOGO or other promotional sale. It was when I tried on the clothes that I became a tried and true convert to Torrid. The clothes FIT RIGHT. The department stores may carry my size, but the CUT of the clothes is all wrong. At Torrid, the right curves are hugged in the right way! They have many different cuts for many different shapes, and I am learning to identify which of their clothes are for my shape. I never buy clothes online because it is so hard to find the right fit, but if you buy online at Torrid, you can return them to the store! Amazing! The ladies in their are almost always super friendly, and fun. I often laugh a lot when I go in there! Finally, shopping is fun!
